SAN ANTONIO – During live TV news updates from the floor of the AT&T Center tonight, a few San Antonio-based sports reporters asked the same question: Why have the Spurs had such trouble against the Pelicans over the past two seasons, with a 1-4 record?
From New Orleans’ perspective, the Pelicans are encouraged by their success against the Spurs but know they need to register an outstanding performance Wednesday to have a chance to end a 35-game home winning streak. New Orleans (18-29) nearly won twice on San Antonio’s home floor last season, prevailing in November and losing in overtime on New Year’s Eve.
